New music releases: Our Amazon Music picks
If your study playlists need a refresh, Amazon Music’s 30-day free trial offer is the perfect excuse to dive into something new. Here are our top picks for this month:
Act III – Kasabian
Kasabian's ninth studio album, Act III, is the closing chapter of the trilogy that started with 2022's The Alchemist's Euphoria. Frontman Serge Pizzorno promises a return to the band's roots after the more experimental Happenings – expect guitar-driven hooks and the swagger that's kept Kasabian headlining festivals for two decades.
Landing on 4th September and guaranteed to be one for the indie-music lovers
Pylon – beabadoobee
Beabadoobee's fourth studio album, Pylon, is her heaviest yet — trading her usual bedroom-pop softness for grunge, midwest emo, and '90s radio rock. Written on the road while touring 2024's This Is How Tomorrow Moves, it's named after the electricity pylons she'd stare at on tour, thinking about the people back home. The feature list alone is stacked: Hayley Williams, Turnstile's Brendan Yates, Deftones' Chino Moreno, and production from The 1975's Matty Healy and George Daniel.
Landing on 18th September via Dirty Hit, it's the sound of one of Gen Z's favourite indie artists going full arena rock.

The latest on Audible: Our Amazon Audible picks
Audiobooks are still the easiest way to get through a reading list hands-free – on a walk, a food shop, or the world's longest bus journey home. And with the Amazon Audible student discount, that's three months free for Prime users. Here's what's worth queuing up:
Careless People – Sarah Wynn-Williams
Ahead of October's Facebook drama hitting cinemas, Careless People is the memoir to get ahead of the hype. Sarah Wynn-Williams' gripping, darkly funny account of her time inside Facebook's top ranks will change how you see the technology running your life – and the people controlling it.
It's already a number one global bestseller, so this is the perfect moment to catch up before the film conversation kicks off.
Threshing Day – Rebecca Yarros
Are you wondering, when is Fourth Wing book 4 coming out? Sadly the fourth Empyrean book isn't coming out this year, however, we've listed a spin-off worth the wait. Threshing Day contains thirteen stories starring your favourite characters and their dragons from the blockbuster series that started with Fourth Wing.
Releasing 29th September, it's the perfect stopgap for anyone still waiting on book four.
A Court of Thorns and Roses
With two new Sarah J. Maas releases landing in October across A Court of Thorns and Roses, Throne of Glass, and Crescent City, now's the moment to catch up or reread.
Feyre's journey from human huntress to Fae royalty is still one of the most-discussed series on BookTok, and the countdown to October has restarted the hype all over again.
Expect renewed chatter, rereads, and a fresh wave of listeners catching up before next month's releases drop.

What's new on Prime Video: Our Amazon Prime picks
Between lectures and deadlines, sometimes the only plan is a good binge. Amazon Prime student discount unlocks fifty per cent off – just £4.49 a month or £47.49 a year. Here's what's landing this month:
The Grand Tour
The Grand Tour is back with a new season. For those asking, "who are The Grand Tour's new hosts?" we can confirm it's Throttle House creators James Engelsman and Thomas Holland, alongside viral trainspotter-turned-petrolhead Francis Bourgeois. Six new episodes take the format from Angolan deserts to Malaysian car culture to California performance cars.
All six episodes drop 4th September – big names for a Gen Z audience already primed to tune in.
The Love Hypothesis
The film adaptation of Ali Hazelwood's BookTok-favourite romance, The Love Hypothesis, finally arrives. Lili Reinhart stars as PhD candidate Olive, who kisses intimidating professor Adam Carlsen (Tom Bateman) to prove she's moved on – and ends up in a fake-dating scheme that gets complicated fast.
Premieres 23rd September globally – read the book first if you can, but it's not required homework.

FAQs
Is Amazon Music free with Prime?
Sort of. Prime includes Amazon Music with ads and shuffle-only playback for a big chunk of the catalogue. For full on-demand access, ad-free and offline listening, you'll need Amazon Music Unlimited, which is a separate subscription — though Prime members usually get a lower monthly rate than non-Prime members.
How do I cancel Amazon Music?
Had enough of your subscription? No problem! Head to your Amazon Music settings, select "Manage Subscription," then cancel from there. You'll keep access until the end of your current billing period, so there's no rush to do it right before renewal.
What is Amazon Audible?
Audible is Amazon's audiobook and podcast subscription service. Members get credits each month to redeem for audiobooks, plus access to a rotating selection of included titles and podcasts.
Is Audible free with Amazon Prime?
Sadly nope. Audible is a separate subscription from Prime. That said, Prime members are often eligible for discounted introductory offers when they sign up, so it's worth checking the current deal before paying full price.
Does Amazon Prime include Audible?
Not by default. Prime and Audible are billed and managed separately, even though both sit under the Amazon umbrella.
How do I cancel Amazon Audible?
Go to your Audible account settings, find "Manage Membership," and cancel from there. Like Amazon Music, you'll keep any remaining credits and access until your next billing date.
